Abstract
It has been roughly estimated that it would take about 4 h for injured soldiers to receive a blood transfusion at a hospital. Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital wondered whether histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors could counter and prevent organ failure in instances of rapid blood loss. Pigs were divided into three groups and were drained of 60% of their blood. Group 1 received saline infusion, group 2 received valproic acid (HDAC inhibitor) injection, and group 3 blood transfusion. Survival at the end of 4 h was 25%, 86%, and 100%, respectively. A similar effect in humans by valproic acid can buy time drastically in soldiers who have suffered massive blood loss till blood transfusion is available.
